TOEFL GENY

TOEFL iBT Program

GENY's TOEFL iBT Preparation Program is for advanced English language students and for those who have already taken the TOEFL iBT test and wish to improve their scores. Today, to succeed in an academic environment in which English is the language of instruction, students need to not only understand English, but also to use it effectively and fluently in an academic context. Our course is designed especially with this in mind and it not only helps foreign English language students achieve high scores on the TOEFL iBT test; it also strives to build the academic skills needed to succeed in American universities and colleges.

Our course focuses on every area of the TOEFL iBT test, especially the speaking and writing sections where students will learn and practice our proven test strategies. TOEFL vocabulary is also stressed throughout the course along with an ample amount of class time dedicated to practicing the other sections on the test. There is a complete TOEFL iBT pre-test and a post-test included in the course along with ten mini tests, so that students can see their progress during the course. We have also included five mini vocabulary tests and a final vocabulary test in this course of study because we understand how critical TOEFL vocabulary is for our students not only on the test, but in their future academic studies in the United States.

Aside from our dynamic classroom activities, students also have the opportunity to practice writing TOEFL essays and practice the TOEFL speaking questions throughout the course, all of which are graded by our experienced teachers. Our computer labs also include additional TOEFL reading and listening exercises that students can utilize during workshop hours.
All in all, we feel that if any foreign English language student applies themselves to our TOEFL iBT program, they will achieve their goals.
